Abstract: At an electronic device that is coupled to a set of circuits configured to supply electricity to respective on-board charging systems of one or more electric vehicles: detecting activation of a first electric vehicle charging connection; in response to detecting the activation of the first electric vehicle charging connection, obtaining a first communication signal through the first electric vehicle charging connection; decoding the first communication signal to extract a respective vehicle identifier corresponding to an on-board charging system of a first electric vehicle that is connected to the set of circuits through the first electric charging connection; configuring a first charging mode for the on-board charging system of the first electric vehicle in accordance with the respective vehicle identifier; and enabling charging of the first electric vehicle through the first electric vehicle charging connection in accordance with the first charging mode.

Abstract: At an electronic device that is coupled to a main input of an electricity demand center on an electric grid: activating load monitoring for the electricity demand center; determining an electricity consumption cap for a current electricity consumption cycle at the electricity demand center; during the current electricity consumption cycle, detecting activation of a first electric vehicle charging connection; and in response to detecting activation of the first electric vehicle charging connection, enforcing an output power cap for EV-charging circuits at the electricity demand center, including dynamically adjusting a current output power of the first electric vehicle charging connection in accordance with a difference between the electricity consumption cap for the current electricity consumption cycle and a current load on non-EV charging circuits at the electricity demand center.
